Most kids think of learning in schools as books and
chalkboards, the student body at Southwestern
Academy in Arizona knows different.
This last September they took off on an adventure where it
takes more than brains to pass the class.
They camped at Sunset Crater National Park
in Flagstaff to
join in the Science Erupts Festival.
Their intentions were to take a ski lift to the top of the Arizona Snow
bowl to hike and study the area, however, the trail to the top of the peak was
closed. This did not deter the students from
finding something to study and enjoy.
The five student body members and a couple of adult chaperones found another
four hour tour of the wild to enjoy instead of going back to join the others at
the camp. They have nicknames themselves
“The Survivors”.
Instead of heading back, the students decided to go take a
tour of the Grand Canyon. Most believed it was a beautiful site;
however one of the best things about it was that they got to shower at a camp
site before leaving to come home.
A wonderful example of how to make something out of
nothing. Just when you think your plans
have been ruined, a quick mind and some determination to have a great time prevail.
